Verizon Wireless Resurrects Buy-One-Get-One Free BlackBerry DealVerizon Wireless Resurrects Buy-One-Get-One Free BlackBerry Deal

Looks like Verizon Wireless is attempting to clear out some inventory. Today, it resumed a buy-one-get-one free sales promotion. If you buy a BlackBerry, you can get any other phone or device for free.If you're a Verizon customer and are eligible for an upgrade, this deal could be for you. Starting today, if you buy one BlackBerry device -- Storm, Tour, Pearl, Curve -- you can get another one for free. The deal doesn't include just BlackBerries, though. Any other device (of equal or lesser value) is game. That includes Verizon's entire stock of phones, plus devices such as netbooks, latop modems and so on.

Perhaps the one drawback is that you have to front the cash for the second device at the register, and then wait for a rebate. Verizon typically turns rebates around pretty quickly, so you shouldn't have to wait too long to be reimbursed.

This would be a perfect way to equip a number of employees with some low-cost smartphones if you have the need.

The deal runs until October 10, so you have plenty of time to take advantage of the offer. My guess is, Verizon will have a bunch of new phones to show off starting some time after October 10. By then, the holiday shopping season will be approaching quickly, and Verizon will want new phones on the store shelves.
